About

Challenges
- Wanted PreSales to support their product enhancement suggestions with a foundation of data.
- Typically, product roadmap had been driven by customer surveys and market analysis—which are still being used, but PreSales can record the unique insight from new prospects, especially as Tipalti continues to expand its market.
- “I’m a former product executive myself. I wanted a tight connection between the product team and what my PreSales team was seeing in the field.”
- As PreSales team grew quickly, wanted visibility into team activities and efficacy, as well as patterns that lead to better win-rates—to help with resource allocation and capacity planning
